XMM-Newton Observations of Two Archival X-ray Weak Type 1 Quasars: Obscuration Induced X-ray Weakness and Variability

Zijian Zhang, Bin Luo, W. N. Brandt +6

We report \hbox{XMM-Newton} observations of two examples of an unclassified type of \hbox{X-ray} weak quasars from the \citet{2020ApJ...900..141P} survey of \hbox{X-ray} weak quasa…

Evidence for quasar fast outflows being accelerated at the scale of tens of parsecs

Zhicheng He, Guilin Liu, Tinggui Wang +14

Quasar outflows may play a crucial role in regulating the host galaxy, although the spatial scale of quasar outflows remain a major enigma, with their acceleration mechanism poorly…

Sensitive Chandra coverage of a representative sample of weak-line quasars: revealing the full range of X-ray properties

Q. Ni, W. N. Brandt, B. Luo +8

We present deeper Chandra observations for weak-line quasars (WLQs) in a representative sample that previously had limited X-ray constraints, and perform X-ray photometric analyses…
